WARNING
A drive chain that breaks or jumps off the sprockets could snag on the engine
sprocket or lock the rear wheel, severely damaging the motorcycle and causing
loss of motorcycle control and an accident.
Examine the whole length of the drive chain. If there are any excessively tight or
loose sections, loose pins or damaged rollers, the drive chain should be
replaced.
4.
Inspect sprockets for unevenly or excessively worn teeth. Also examine the
sprockets for damaged teeth.

Final Drive Chain Lubrication
Lubrication is necessary every 200 miles (300 km) and also after riding in wet
weather, on wet roads, or any time that the chain appears dry.
Use the special drive chain lubricant as recommended in the specification section.
Correct application is critical for drive chain lubrication. Apply the lubricant for one full
drive chain revolution only, then leave for eight hours before riding. This allows the
lubricant’s solvent (used to thin the oil) to evaporate and the oil to 'soak' into all parts
of the drive chain. If the lubricant is applied and the motorcycle is ridden shortly
afterwards, the lubricant is unlikely to reach all parts and the majority will be flung off
and wasted. Applying excessive amounts is not helpful under any circumstances.
It should be noted that the lubricant is applied to the drive chain to lubricate its action
across the sprockets. In an O-ring chain, external lubrication does not penetrate to
the bushes and rollers as the O-ring seals prevents this from happening.
